I've been here 30 minutes and can't concentrate at all because directly in the middle of the room is a Bible Study- and it's being led by a group (lovely as they seem) that seems to know nothing about applying cultural context to the scripture.
So. After a quiet day at the retreat center, I'm headed to the library to enjoy another hour or two of silence and bright lighting, so I can be productive.
Today has been frustrating (3 days in a row now) editing-wise. Now, I'm certain of what needs to be plugged in where and am making those changes but it doesn't make for chunky word counts. Sigh.
Okay. Off to the library- will post later on with my mediocre count.

Praying the two hours or so ARE productive, and lack in frustration. Hang in there girl - you CAN do it!
Joanne, you're the best :) big hugs.
The hardest part of that coffee house scene was having to resist the urge to correct. They were discussing Esther- and the one leading kept saying things like- I don't know why she did that- if it were me, or I would have said, etc-- and I kept wanting to say--- you're a Christian living in suburbia in North America in 2010--- this doesn't translate to the cultural rules & customs she had to deal with :insert homer to bart neck-wringing:. God, please forgive me for anything I've said remotely similar (because I know I have at some point(s)in my life). EEEK.
